I love days like that when you go hunting a nature decides to throw you a curve. About 2 years ago I was turkey hunting down a logging road with my nephew-in-law and we spotted a bear thatwas about 75 feet away, did'nt look too big till it stood on it hind legs. It sure looked big then. It just trotted off. My favorite tho was bowhunting last year and a good size bear came and fell asleep at the foot of my tree. This was my first real close encounter with a bear.He was one week early doing this as archery bear season was the next Saturday.Right before it got dark it wandered across a pasture and left.
